Hello! My name is I’m Emmet Byrne, producer on the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Roleplaying Game. Today we’re excited to share a major update about the Age of Sigmar RPG!

On the Cover

Firstly, we are incredibly excited to share with you the cover for the Age of Sigmar Roleplaying Game. This amazing piece of art was created by the incredibly talented Johan Grenier and was first revealed on the Warhammer TV Twitch channel. You may recognise Johan’s work from other Age of Sigmar products, including the triumphant return of Gotrek in Realmslayer. Johan has a wealth of knowledge and experience with Age of Sigmar

Today, WFRP fans count A Rough Night at the Three Feathers among the game’s best adventures. It was reprinted in two WFRP1^st edition compilations: The Restless Dead, published by Games Workshop in 1989; and Apocrypha Now, published by Hogshead Publishing in 1995. In 2005, eighteen years after it first appeared, it was adapted for WFRP2^nd edition in the Black Industries collection, Plundered Vaults.

GD: A Rough Night at the Three Feathers was an adventure for WFRP1^st edition, published in Games Workshop’s White Dwarf magazine in November 1987. I wrote it largely as an experiment, to see whether multi–plot adventures could even work as it had never been done in roleplaying games before. In the years that followed, I wrote two more adventures in the same style. The first, Nastassia’s Wedding, appeared in Steve Jackson Games’ Pyramid #19

On this weeks Meet the Team we hear from one of Cubicle 7's writers for The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth™. In the coming weeks we will have insights from editors, producers, freelancers, marketing and more, so if you love RPG's or think you might like to work in the industry these articles should give you some insider knowledge and tips!

Hello everyone! I’m Jacob Rodgers and I work for Cubicle 7, doing mostly writing and development work for The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth™.

My history with both Middle-earth™ and roleplaying games extends for decades — the very first game I ever bought was the first edition boxed set for Middle-earth™ Role Playing soon after completing the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time. I promptly roped all my friends into playing and tried to recreate the Quest of the Ring in a roleplaying game. It failed miserably. But it was a stepping stone that taught me a lot about the interface between literature and

Rough Nights & Hard Days offers five interlinked scenarios for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay written by series veteran, Graeme Davis. These can be played as stand-alone adventures, or combined into an epic five-part campaign, where the Characters become embroiled in a bitter dispute between two of the Empire’s quarrelling noble houses. Rough Nights & Hard Days also introduces an entirely new playable species, and presents a variety of pub games to amuse and confuse players.

Rough Nights & Hard Days Includes: 

• A Rough Night at the Three Feathers: a quiet evening at the riverside inn becomes very eventful indeed.
• A Day at the Trails: a much-awaited trial-by-combat becomes memorable for all the wrong reasons.
• A Night at The Opera: an evening of cultured opera descends into farce and horror.
• Nastassia’s Wedding: a celebrated society wedding does not go according to plan.
• Lord of Ubersreik: competing factions gather for a ball that quickly becomes a battlefield.
• Pub Games: one learns

This week we twisted T.S. Luikart's arm to share his backstory and love of RPGs.

It’s 3 a.m. on a school night and I’m staring, wide-eyed, at my startled Father, who stands, blurry-eyed, in my doorway. I’m in mid-jump, fine form, leaping up and down on my bed, yelling “Rohan! Rohan!” for the horns of the North were wildly blowing about dark Mindolluin’s sides and Rohan had come at last. My Father’s gaze dropped from mine to the copy of The Return of the King clutched tightly in my hands. He smiled slowly and shook his head. “It’s way past time for bed, Son.”

I was 7.

My name is T.S. Luikart and while that night may not have cemented my destiny, it’s no coincidence I wrote large parts of The One Ring’s The Horse-Lords of Rohanmany years after. I have been a roleplaying game designer for 26 years, a few highlights of which include Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition, Dark Heresy, the Dragon Age RPGfrom Green Ronin, Eclipse Phase, Tenra Bansho Zero, Golden Sky Stories

This week we want to introduce you to one of Cubicle 7's writers, Ben Scerri. As the team at Cubicle 7 expands we want to share news and updates from our writers, producers, editors, artists and more to give you an insight into how our games are developed and who's involved. 

Hey folks! My name's Ben Scerri, and I write for Cubicle 7, tinkering away in the word mines to bring you new WFRP content. I've been involved in the Warhammer world since I was a kid, and learned to read with gusto so that I could soak in as many roleplaying games and gamebooks as I could get my tiny hands on. I started my Warhammer Fantasy Battles journey with Dark Elves, and went on to collect Dwarfs, and Orcs and Goblins later on. I also played a lot of Warhammer 40,000, where Craftworld Eldar and Salamanders Spacemarines were my flavour of choice.

Since then, I've been writing small roleplaying games and fan supplements for my favourite games, in between running at least one weekly campaign in my spare time.

The WFRP Starter Set contains everything needed to bring the grim and perilous world of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay to life. Whether roleplaying for the first time or preparing for your next epic campaign, this box is for you.

With over a hundred pages of adventures, rules, and setting, as well as maps, handouts, custom dice from Q WORKSHOP, Advantage tokens, rules references, ready-made Characters, a simple GM Screen, and more, this boxed set is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in WFRP.

The Adventure Book

The Adventure Book invites players of all experience levels into the rich, roleplaying playground of Ubersreik. For beginners, the starter adventure, Making the Rounds, introduces the harsh realities of life in the troubled fortress-town and takes you step-by-step through the rules. For more experienced hands, there are 10 scenarios aimed to expand your WFRP games, offering new locations, new characters, and new horrors to uncover.

#MORTALREALMSMONDAY

Today Cubicle 7 producer Emmet Byrne reveals a brand new Archetype for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound. We are delighted to bring you these regular updates on Age of Sigmar. Why not jump over to our Facebook and Twitter pages and let us know what you think of this one?

Hi all, today we’re revealing a brand new Archetype for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound — the esoteric Branchwych of the Sylvaneth. 

Guardians of Life and Death

Branchwyches are attuned to the life magic of the forest and are entrusted with most sacred of roles. It is a Branchwyches duty to guard and protect the soulpod glades and to nurture the spirits growing within. They ensure harmony with the Spirit Song — a mystical melody which all Sylvaneth can hear and one that serves as a unifying force among the forest folk. Branchwyches also serve as receivers of the dead, using their greenwood scythes to harvest the souls of fallen Sylvaneth so they may return to the soulpod glades to grow again.

I was there at your beginning.

#MortalRealmsMonday 

Today we’re revealing a new Archetype for Age of Sigmar Soulbound - the mighty Doomseeker!

Redemption or Death

Oathsworn to leave your home and never return, you travel the Mortal Realms in search of redemption or death.

The unbreakable oaths of the Fyreslayers are legendary and the Doomseeker epitomises their stubborn sense of honour. No one knows what could drive a Duardin to swear an oath so mighty as to banish them from their own lodge and nor would any who have sworn such an oath ever say, for a Doomseeker is as reticent as they are proud. Some speculate that they are warriors who have disgraced themselves in battle, that they are the sole survivors of a destroyed lodge, or atoning for some familial guilt. Others whisper that this is the fate of an Auric Runeson who fails to rise to Runefather and refuses to bend the knee to a brother. What is true is that Doomseekers had lives before swearing their oaths. While their skills may be a little rusty, a Doomseeker

Today we have another free adventure for WFRP: Night of Blood! This time it's a classic; Night of Blood is one of the most played WFRP scenarios of all time. It was originally written over thirty years ago by Jim Bambra for WFRP 1^stedition, and was published in White Dwarf 87 in March 1987. Later, it was republished in the WFRP 1^st edition supplement, The Restless Dead, and has been a firm fan favourite ever since. It's a brilliant introduction to WFRP in just a single evening’s play, and can be added to any Old World campaign with ease. So, it’s our absolute pleasure to present Night of Blood to you all, updated to WFRP 4^th edition by Lindsay Law.

It’s a dark, stormy night, and the forest creaks as foul creatures howl through the undergrowth. As freezing rain slices from the roiling sky and attack threatens from all sides, the desperate adventurers stumble upon the warm glow of a fortified inn. But everything isn’t as it seems, and soon the unwitting
